Optimum environment and layout for showing off rare and precious plants

How do C-Mac's Special Shade Houses work?

A greenhouse works by collecting light and converting that light to heat within its structure.

The structure and covering material reduces the rate at which thermal energy flows out of the structure after the sunshine is absorbed into the greenhouse. Glass or plastic is the typical material for lining a greenhouse as it allows sunlight to pass through.

The air inside the special shade house is warmed by the heat from the interior surfaces and is retained in the building by the roof and walls. In other words, this special product:

Collect solar and absorb heat

Stores thermal energy and releases energy in a controlled manner.

Moderating and controlling temperatures and breezes create an ideal, controllable environment for plants to grow and thrive.

Which plants are suitable to grow in these shade houses?

Warm season vegetables such as spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant……

Cutting flowers such as oriental lilies, some specific sunflowers and dianthus…….

Seeds that need a warm and constant temperature

Starting off hardy plants earlier than outdoors to produce more crops per year

Why choose C-Mac's special Shade House?

C-Mac’s special shade house is different from other greenhouse/glasshouse or hot houses. It is an accessory or add-on toour existing shade house steel structures. A removable woven fabric is used to cover the whole shade house to make a greenhouse.

Either leave the existing shade cloth on and cover with plastic woven fabric or remove shade cloth and have a “special shade house” as desired. Interchangeable.

Can be used as a greenhouse in winter and reap all the benefits. When it comes to summer when a shade house is needed, simply remove the woven plastic fabric cover to enjoy all the benefits of having a shade house.

Please note:

C-Mac's special greenhouse is not a typical greenhouse, it is made of a SHADE HOUSE WITH SPECIAL COVER. C-Mac is not manufacturing any greenhouse/glasshouse/hot house. We have been manufacturing HIGH QUALITY shade house in Sydney for over 50 years.

(1) Lead time applies to C-Mac's special shade house with woven fabric cover as it is locally Made in Sydney Australia (2) Custom sizes are possible (Extra cost applies)

*[Owner]* An industrial laundry system service company needed repairs and redesign done to their tooling. C-Mac made changes to the tooling to make access and ease of use to decrease service down times.

*[Service Manager]* An industrial fan service company had a failure of a major shopping centre air conditioning fan/ blower. C-Mac repaired the unit within a 24hr turn around for minimum downtime.

*[Owner/Manager]* A major food manufacturer specializing in tomato sauce had a filling machine breakdown. The machine was brought to C-Mac and repaired in 24hrs for minimum downtime of the production line costing $5,000 per hour.

*[RAAF - Warrant Officer]* Airfield support staff required a portable sandbagging frame and requested a design, prototype and trials at no cost. There was nothing suitable on the market i.e. made in Australia. "Sandbagging Frames":materials-handling/1-bagging-equipment#silt-bagging-frame are now on the national procurement data base and some probably overseas at different war zones.

*[Mechanical Design Engineer]* An automotive transmission design customer needed help with designing an automatic transmission gear prototype. We suggested and engineered a more cost effective and practical way for the mass production stage.

*[Nursery Manager]* At an exhibition saw our self tracking nursery trailers and indicated he had a costly issue transporting large (heavy) pots containing advanced trees. Existing method was a bobcat. C-Mac designed and quoted for the manufacture of a Self Tracking “Low Loader”. His comment on the first day of using "Low Loader trailer":nursery-equipment/7-trailers/#low-loader-self-tracking-trailer “Can now move 100 litre pots with trees, 150 metres in 1 hr and not get a sore back”.

*[Purchasing Officer]* A mining design and machining company needed help with machining components urgently as they were too busy to keep up with the demand. C-Mac machined the components so the deadline could be met.

*[General Manager]* Customer had to submit a proposal and compete against other countries for the manufacturing facility. C-Mac submitted drawings to show there was space in existing plant to install the new process and to comply with all Australian OH&S Standards. Working together with customer to submit proposal to the Head Office overseas WON the contract. Project was a success meeting 6month lead time and budget.

*[Nursery Owner]* Needed a specific Potting & Mixing machine. for his yuccas nursery, but the problem was it was no longer manufactured. From his description and specifications our engineers designed and modelled in 3D software his requirements. "Potting Machine":nursery-equipment/3-potting-machines/ was manufactured and fully tested with potting media in our workshop, video was then sent to customer who was very pleased with the results. Machine disassembled and freighted interstate and installed.

*[Maintenance Engineer]* An industrial hydraulic fitting manufacturer had problems with gear and shaft breakages with their machinery. They also had problems repairing and maintaining. C-Mac offered to repair and maintain their machinery on-site instead of having to permanently employ fitters.
